Comments on: patience… and endurance… http://philalcorn.wordpress.com/2007/09/21/patience-and-endurance/ Inside my head. Don't get lost.

God is speaking. I have to say that whilst starting this job- man ive felt like ive wanted to die! Give up and not carry on.it would be soooooo easy to do that, and I actually was thinking of giving up on Wednesday - to have done with it and stop working. But things happened...things were talked of, and the day was better. But yea - it is hard to push oneself and carry on - especially when things seem so tough and that there is no way you can carry on. I guess it tests how much we rely on God..how much we depend on him and trust him to be our strength - when actually we dont have any. Running the race - til the finish line......endurance! Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord! Patience...is a virtue. We wait - we trust - we hope - we put our faith in God...we see what happens! Funny thing is - its quite easy to right this down and to think - yeaaa! But... i know if right now i was in a different place - maybe last Tuesday morning - it wouldnt be so easy to remember this. ....hmmmmm! lol Ive just read this…very cool and very whats the word…appropriate to me..and i think to a few others having read the comments.

I understand what you are saying but there is nothing to stop us going out and doing for ourselves. I mean wanting is part of achieving surely? If we want things to happen, we have been given the tools to make our way there and gain knowledge as we go. Just another way of looking at it I suppose. I apologise if I am not understanding the post properly but I did enjoy reading it. Interesting post.
